It’s a great path to a middle class existence.
Before you get to drive, you toil in a hot warehouse for several years. If you have the work ethic and stick to it, you achieve a good career.
How can wages be that high? It’s what good workers demand for good work. Everyone bitches about the problems they have when they get shipments from herky jerky companies like Laser. They pay peanuts and get what they pay for.

It’s always been an in-demand job and you’re right, you have to put many years in doing hard work in the warehouses first. It’s a massive filter function not unlike STEM degrees in terms of many that start don’t make it. Becoming a driver is like joining an elite fraternity.

I thought I was about to be the victim of a drive-by. In a way it was.
